Well, I disagree with that as well - I do not see the topic of the article as just being about sexism against women either. The article is about needing more women in tech, and many aspects of sexism and all of the other factors in the article have an impact on that. The fact that men are not expected to be caregivers…

What you just described is sexism. Why do you have the false notion that sexism is only about women?

I completely disagree with you. You may ‘feel’ that those things are the reality, and you may even be able to find some confirmation bias to support those claims, but you are missing several key facts - first, sexism and misogyny exists. You cannot simply dismiss it because other things exist too. Secondly, why do you…

That is not a fact at all, nor does it make sense to avoid examining why girls are not interested in STEM if/when they aren’t. I fail to see where anyone is suggesting forcing people into careers they don’t want to be in. However, it is easily demonstrated that girls are frequently discouraged from STEM professions,…

It’s sad that I’m already bracing myself for the types of comments that inevitably occur whenever any discussion of women/minorities occurs. It seems to be very difficult for some people to listen to women/minorities share their experiences without an immediate need to shout over them, to derail the conversation, and…

For me: because it’s cheaper, I get hotel points for using it, I get double AmEx points for using it, I don’t have to tip, and I don’t have to take out my credit card. Plus I never have to worry about some cabbie trying to scam me on the fare or pretend that their card reader ‘doesn’t work’ - YMMV of course!

I’m not angry and I did not say that. I said it was entitlement of the author who rolled their eyes at the fact that an item with a ticket on it costs more than an item without one. It’s like rolling your eyes because a new car costs more than a used one. Why would you not expect that? And it’s bigoted to make fun of…

Why do you need to be ‘sorry’ that my experience is different than yours? Now that is worthy of an eyeroll...

Working in retail part-time does not qualify you as a subject matter expert, but indeed independent/small stores might decide to donate their unwanted inventory to a charity (which is what the thrift store is). It does not change my statement that I have never been to a thrift store that has items donated directly.

I have never been to a thrift store that has items donated from retail stores directly. Those items are usually sold in bulk to chains like Marshalls. Plus, no one said that the price on the tag was lower than the price they are charging - they said that items with tags sold for a couple of dollars more than items…

I don’t get why a thrift store charging more for clothing with tags still on is eyeroll-worthy.

WONDER WOMAN LIVES THERE. Unless she moved. So will Lynda Carter be on it?!!!

The items you list for ‘manly tasks’ are ones that are not done frequently for the most part, unlike things like grocery shopping, meal planning, cooking, dishes, vacuuming, trash removal, painting, cleaning litter boxes, taking the dog for a walk, bathing kids, homework, paying bills, purchasing clothing/toiletries,…

I could not disagree with this more. If you are responsible for doing something, then you are responsible for DOING it. You should communicate and discuss with your partner what the expectation is of the work being ‘done.’ If they are too particular, then you need to figure out how to compromise or negotiate to doing…

I know what you mean - I can somewhat excuse it in that I did buy some stuff when it was 4x points, but still - I SWORE the first year I hit Rouge that it was a fluke and only happened because I was buying an expensive laser hair thing, and it would never happen again - three years of Rouge later...

Wait - where are you that the VIP Rouge doesn’t start until Friday? Mine ends today, so I’m gonna cram stuff tonight!

But the article -as well as my comment - is specifically about ‘cheating’ and that word is specifically used. So I’m more wondering about that word since it’s what the article is about. I think a broader ‘you did something that you know your spouse would not like’ is simply selfish behavior, and may or may not be the…

So you’re only defining cheating as the interactions between other people? Someone and not something? What about ‘cheating’ by hiding addictions, wherein you are also doing something that you know your partner does not approve of? Is it the same consideration? (I’m just curious to the thoughts of others here)

I wasn’t asking for myself, but for the sake of how (or if) the article wanted to define it, since some people may feel that the response/reaction may vary depending upon how they’re defining ‘cheating.’ Like if someone wanted to say that hiding money from your partner was ‘cheating,’ and it was the same violation as…

So, what constitutes cheating? I think it’s obvious that sexual activity does, but what about ‘emotional’ cheating? How about sexting, or other sexually-suggestive activities? Anything else? Is it all equal, or is some cheating worse than others? (Personally I feel they’re all cheating and that emotional cheating is…
